A 26-year-old North Carolina man using a sound device which imitates a coyote call was shot and killed by a nearby homeowner who mistook the sound for a coyote, on Monday, Feb. 19, WSOC reported, citing officials.
Michael Seth Marsh, a pastor at a local church and a father of two, was in a wooded area north of Taylorsville when the owner of a nearby home shot him with an AR-15 rifle, deputies say. Marsh turned on an electronic coyote caller and set it on the ground near a tree. At around 5:50 p.m. a neighbor heard the calls and fired twice thinking a coyote was there, Winston-Salem Journal reported.
